SECRETARY BAYARD very properly puts
bis foot down bard on the attempt OF the
French government to furnish a San Fran
cisco society with Cbassepot muskets. The
number was very small and the society quite
harmless, but the principle is very large and
the precedent quite dangerous. II foreign
governments are to be permitted to make
presents Of arms to American mutual aid 81.
cieties 1t may be hard some day TO draw the
line, and as things are not usually given
without some equivalent, these gifts might
be taken to imply a mutual Aid policy be

universities cannot be numerous Far better
that they should be few, thoroughly
equipped, well-manned, largely supplied
with members eager for the advantages they
may offer, and become necessarily great CEN
tres for original work aud valuable cOntribu-

may be numerous, in the nature Of the case

outlay Of money, so large an assemblage Of
great talent, that to carry out their true con-
ception they must be limited in number.
When the college tries to initiate their

Of the college being of service az in former
days, to strengthen the intellect, the will, the
spiritual fibre, by the gradual withdrawal of
the props that the child demanded which were
lovingly furnished at home and judciOusly pro-
vided at schOOl-it is made the arena where
all these are thrown aside and the youth Ii
called upon To bear the burdens and undergo
the temptations of manhood with little IL any
assistance whatever. That the risk to be
undergone is great, no one will deny that it
is unnecessary at the age and under the cir
cumstances, have no hesitation to declare.
TENDENCIES OF "POPULAR EDUCATION.
Let me sum up what the tendencies of the
popular college education of the day involve.
First the ignoring of the study Of the So
called dead languages-Latin and Greek,
which instead of being dead are manifesting
perennial life throughout the literature of all
countries, because they are the custOdians of
the thought and beauty that belonged to the
human mind when it was untrammeled by
traditions and revelled in close contact with
the truths Of nature. Second, the lowering
Of liberal culture while money estimate Is
placed upon the studies Of . college course,
according TO which those only are Of value
to the individual student that seem to have
some direct connection with his future call
ing Third, the removal Of all disciplinary
agencies, which are intended In an edllca-
tional way to strengthen the moral and spir-
itual nature Of the young and to lead them
along so that they may gradually learn TO
think and act az well-trsined, strong, self.
reliant men, fitted in all respects 10 assume
the general duties Of lie or to enter upon
special preparation for any subseq quent pre-
fessiOnsl or technical pursuit. These re-
suits antagonize the work which was for
merly assigned TO the college. The sphere
Of the college was we'll defined as tho discip.
line and cultivation OF all the powers Of the
individual, 30 that bodily-and It must be
admitted that there II strong reason for the
introduction Of athletics into our colleges
mentally and spiritually no may be trained
for the warfare Of Life.

DEATH OF SEYMOUR HUEsTED.
A Noted Millionaire who Started in
 Life as a Stage Driver.

Seymour l.. Huested, the wealthiest citiz zen in Brooklyn, died in his palatial residence at 151 Clinton avenue, cor. Myrtle, aged 77 years. He had been in poor health for some time, and for week or more all hope of recovery had been abandoned. MT. Huested's wealth and consists for the most part of stocks in railroads, banks, gas and insurance. He was a self-made man, and when he settled fifty years ago in the village ofBrooklyn he was not worth S10 in the world. His first occupation in Brooklyn was that of stage driver on the old line between Fulton Ferry and Bedford. He worked his way in Q couple of years to the experimenting of the stage line, and in two years more was one of its proprietors.
 The stage line for several years was the only means of transportation in the growing town of Brooklyn, and MT. HIested made money rapidly and invested it profitably in almost any local enterprise. When the Brooklyn City Railroad Company was organized, and the stages become thing of the past, Mir. Huested became one of the leading spirits and heaviest stockholders in that corporation, from which hundreds of old Brooklyn families have reaped largo fortunes. MT. Huested has continued his connection with the company ever since it's organization, nnd he and his family owned the largest block of stock.
 Mir. Huested was also one of the organizers of the Dime Savings Bank, and for several years has been its President. There are few banking institutions, fire insurance companies or gas companies Tn Brooklyn Tn which he was not largely interested. The only public office he has ever held was that of Bridge Trustee under the Presidency of the late Henry c. Murphy.
 Mr. Huested was Republican in politics and frequently declined nomination for Mayor from that party. His charities were ex- tensive but unobtrusive Five years ago he celebrated his golden wedding, and all the veteran drivers and conductors of the Brooklyn City Railroad were summoned to his house and each presented with S2O gold piece. He leaves widow, four sons and two daughters, most of whom are married. Each of his heirs will receive over S1, ,0OO,OO0.

THE WAR IN AFGHANISATN.
England and Russia Ready to Oc-
 cupy the Country.

The fate of the Aneer of Afghanistan is de- pendent upon the success of his forces in their coming battle with the Ghilzais confronting them, which will be precipitated immediately after the expiration of the Mohammedan feast of the Ramadan, which is devoutly observed the Indians and Afghans, which will expire on June 2S. The Ameer's popular ity has waned, and if he does not succeed in quelling the rebellion against his authority in his next battle with the insurgents he will probably fall. His defeat or death at this time would be of enormous advantage to thu British, since it would furnish pretext for British occupation of the whole of Afghanis- tan. and the preparations of the Indian Gov crnment for availing itself of the benefit arising from either contingency are already complete.
 Russian intrigues with the Governor of Ba- dahshan have resulted in the purchase by Rus- sian agents of the entire grain crop of that province, and the announcement of the trans action has aroused the London press to tirade methods on the frontier, and an urgent appeal to the Government to demand of the Govern ment at St. Petersburg the immediate with drawal of its soldiers within the boundaries of its own territory. The occupation of Kerki is denounced as warlike menace and the ap- pointment of the Pretender, Islander Khan, as Governor of Bnjdeh, the making of that place Russian advance post and the estab- lshment of a hostile garrison opposite the Amcer's posi- tion on the Oxus river, at Khoja- Salch arc characterized as acts tantamount to declaration of war against England, and the Foreign Office is asked what action it intends to take to uphold British honor and main tain British integrity.

A New Eacfnry IaW

The amendment to the New York Factory law of last year, introduced by Senator Me- NTillen, of Buffalo, and signed by Governor Hill on May 25, has occasioned great excite ment i'll labor circles in view of the fact that eight deputy inspectors are created by it. The bill was inspired by Factory Inspectors Con- nelly and Franey, who found the 50, 900 manu- featuring establishments of the State too many 10 permit of proper supervision by two men. The law of 1886 prohibited the employ ment of children under the age of 13 in manu- featuring establishments, and also made 60 hours the limit of weeks work for all women under 21 years of age and boys under IS years of age in such establishments. The new law, besides creating the eight new positions, goes a great deal further. It give the inspectors power to order the erection of adequate fire escapes, makes 45 min utes the minimum time for the monday meal, unless a permit is granted by one of the inspectors; requires the guarding of gearing, belting and shafting by proper safeguards, prohibits women and minors from cleaning machinery while in motion improves the law of last year regarding the furnishing of sworn statements by the parents of the ages of chi dren employed, insists upon automatic con- trlvances to protect elevator ways and author izes the inspectors to order trap doors over hoist ways and well holes and, when in the opinion of the inspector it is necessary corru- gated rubber strips must be placed on all stairways to prevent accidents from slipping; stairWays must have balusters and be closed on the bottom and sides where women are em- ployed, and re ring rooms must be kept screen cd and separate where persons of both sexes are wOrEinu

A daring and peculiar robbery, involving jewels valued at over $10,00O, was committed in Chicago at the office of the Brunswick Balke-C -Collender Billiard Company. The wells were owned by Moses bensinger. and up to the death of his wife were kept at MT.

The partment was fastened with Yale lock, the only key to which MT. Bensinger SUD- posed that he had The jewelry was in box large enough to hold four billiard balls. It consisted of three watches, and number of rings, bracelets, pins, and studs, the value of wh ch, aside from associations, exceeded S1O,- GOO. During the daytime the vault and safe are open, but the space devoted to the jewels was always kept locked by the owner until, wishing to make his daughter present of a necklace, he went to the safe to take the d;a monds out of some rings and studs. The little compartment was 1ocked but when opened all the jewels were missing.

THE WORLDS FAIR IN 1902.
Staten Island Folks Busy Pushing
 it's Claims as a Site.

One of the first questions which arises when the subject of Worlds Fair in the neighbor- hood of New York is discussed is, where can q site be found within a convenient distance and with adequate means of transportation ? In the first place it is evident that no location should be selected depending on the New York City railways as O means of getting to and from tho fair, as these thoroughfares are al- ready overcrowded at certain hours of the day with regular travel. The location most con Fenlent on all accounts is Staten Island.
 New York Bay gives facilities for unlimited travel; the large tracts of table lands on the Island give abundant room for most extensive buildings and grounds; building material and goods for exhibit can be landed here by rail or water at tho lowest cost. New York, Brook Iyn, Staten Island and Jersey City can furnish abundant accommodations for the largest crowds that can be drawn together, the bay will give ample scope, within sight of the grounds, for boat racing and other aquatic sports, while visitors who wish to enjoy boat ing, hathing or fishing, will be able to find accommodations along the shore. Where then, ill all the broad land discovered by Christopher Columbus, can we find a spot so fitted to show the progress we have ma e in building, in manufactures, ill wealth, art, science, and all that pertains to our continent ill these closing years of this nineteenth century as here on Staten Island.

The Richest Negro in America.

The Supreme Court of Georgia has sustained the will of the late David Dickson. This makes Amanda Eubanks the richest negro in America, with a fortune of half a million Dickson, who was related to the best families in the State, was before the war one of the heaviest shareholders in the South, having on one plantation alone 800 negroes After the war he was the first prominent farmer to suc- ceed under the new order of things, and he made fortune of S6Oo, GOO.

They were di~gustel as well as disappointed when they discovered that he left Q will in which sevcn-cigh'hs of his possessions were left to coored woman and her daughter, Amanda. A fight was made on the will, the principal point made being that it was opposed to public policy to permit white man to dis pose of his property to his colored illegitimate child. The Supreme Court rules that the negroes have the same civil rights as white people and that the will must stand

POWDERLY SPEAKS AGAIN.
If the Manufacturers Drive Out the Knights Anarchy will Como In.

Master Workman Powderly spoke to great audience of workmen in Lynn. Regarding the Worcester boot and shoe manufacturers lock- out, he said:
 ''I admit the boycott is bad. It is not good for anybody. On the other hand the lockout is bad. If the manufacturers drive out tho Knights of Labor and conservative organiza- tions like it, then the radical ones will come in. Anarchy will follow. So say to manu- lecturers, Beware 7 Unless you meet the men half way, there will be those who will not meet you half way, and who will not be as friendly as the Knights of Labor. The thing which the Anarchists would hail with greatest delight would be the disorganization of the Knights of Labor. No man should be so blind as to thrust aside the hands of the Knights of Labor. I have held back the hand of anarchy In this country and have received no help from the manufacturers. They say there is no discipline in the Knights of Labor. Perhaps not, but there will be. We are having it now, and if command but 5000 men they will go where say or they will go nowhere"
